Finally the NDA for Rift has been lifted! I recorded some videos during the past Beta Events and am now working on finalizing them.

The first two videos are ready for you two watch. The others will follow soon.

The first video is from the first Beta Event (the one with the Defiants) and shows all bosses in the Iron Tomb Dungeon. It's probably interesting for all people who like instances. And I must admin that the encounters weren[object Window]t that easy and you have to think quite a bit and come up with a strategy. Thumbs up Trion.

Again another character creation - this time it's a Mathosian female Cleric.The females in the game are somehow looking way better than the males - at least in my opinion. But being a guy myself I always think that females are looking more interesting than other guys do. Anyway, here is the video: Rift - Character Creation Female Mathosian Cleric + Intro

And there was a second dungeon one could visit in the beta (Guardian Beta that is). It's called Realm of the Fae and I think think that it's looking awesome. The instance is split into four parts (one for each season - spring, summer, fall, winter) and each part has a boss encounter waiting at the end.You can find the video here: Rift - Realm of the Fae

*Update 2*

And here is another video. I've already posted a character creation for the High Elfs and here is one for the Kelari, who look somewhat like Dark Elfs. They're part of the Defiant faction and fight against the Guardians and Regulos' forces. And this video features the whole intro movie for the Defiant which starts after the character creation process.Link: Rift - Character Creation Female Kelari Cleric + Intro

*Update 3*

I went through the rest of my video material and had enough for two more videos.

The first one shows why the name of the game is Rift. Because of the rifts of course! This video shows a Death Rift which invaded the land and turned it black and a bunch of players (including me) trying to stop it and finally succeeding with stopping it. After that we have to fight back an invasion and then the land returns to it's former beauty.You can watch it here: http://www.digioso.o...ft - Death Rift

And the second video shows some random gameplay scened I recorded while playing. Mostly fights against named mobs but it features the video sequences you get to see after finishing the tutorials, too. For both the Guardians and the Defiants of course!You can watch it here: Rift - Named mobs and other stuff

*Update 4*

I've got another video right for the fourth beta. For all those who haven't seen it yet I recorded the whole intro movie. I think Trion made it very well.You can watch it here: http://www.digioso.o...ft - Game Intro

*Update 5*

Here are two videos from the fourth beta event showing the newly introduced Warfronts The Codex and The Black Garden. It was the first time we players could attend these and I had a lot of interesting fights in there.I've recorded one fight for each Warfront. You can find the videos under the following two links:The Black GardenThe Codex

*Update 6*

I've finished another video right for the next Beta-Event: Rift - Guardian EndbossesIn this video I'll show the fights against the endbosses of Gloamwood and Silverwood. I had some tough fights with my clerik against those and want to share the video with you.

*Update 7*

The Darkening Deeps are usually the second dungeon you will visit playing as a guardian. They're located in the northern part of Gloamwood, which is west of the Guadian starting area of Silverwood. This is dungeon is for players of level 24 or greater and features four bosses with the third one (Tegenar Deepfang) being by far the hardest one.Link to the video: http://www.digioso.o...Darkening Deeps

*Update 8*

The Whitefall Steppes are the third battleground available during beta. It's a capture the flag type warfront where you have to capture the enemies flag (Sourcestone) and bring it to your teams flag (Sourcestone). Pretty easy to understand but the difficutly is that this warfront is huge and you have to walk all the way from the enemies base to your base - and you cannot mount on your horse or whatever mount you have. So the risk of being killed on the way is very high. It happeneded to me almost in front of our base as you can see in the video.Interested? Watch this video here.

*Update 9*

The open beta is over and I have another video ready. This time it shows the dungeon "Foul Cascade". It is located in the northern parts of the Scarlet Gorge and designed for players between Level 30 and Level 35.You can fine this video here: http://www.digioso.o...he Foul Cascade

*Update 10*

The first one is called "Rift - Sanctum Rift Raid".There was a huge event in Sanctum where lots of Rifts appeared in the middle of the city and tried to take over the whole city. We, as the players, had to fight together and prevent this from happening.Watch it here: http://www.digioso.o...nctum Rift Raid

The second one is called "Rift - Named Solo Mobs."This video shows some of the named mobs you can find all other Telara and which are designed to be beatable by a single player.Watch it here: http://www.digioso.o...Named Solo Mobs

And the third one is called "Rift Endbosses".This video shows some of the endbosses you'll encounter as a Guardian in Rift - Planes of Telara.Watch it here: http://www.digioso.org/Rift Endbosses

And another update to my first posting with two videos.

One shows a Death Rift and the other one a lot of named mobs and the video scenes which are played after finishing the tutorials. The video includes this for both the Guardians and the Defiants of course.

sorry, but can you do a quick like one paragraph summary of what makes this game new and different? like an elevator pitch for it. As far as I can tell it looks like just another mmo, but I'm ready to believe otherwise.

Dynamic world

Rifts can open up at random anywhere in the world, changing the landscape.other random encounters and events as well.From their site:

Whether itís a previously peaceful farm being ravaged by demons, a tranquil forest glen suddenly ripped apart by a violent rift, or merely an unassuming traveling merchant with astounding wares, spontaneous events are taking place all across Telara for you to discover and take part in.

Hmm, basically they took almost everything good from the current MMOs and put it together into a single game.And then they added Rifts + Invasions and an unique class system.

The classed are split into four basic classes - Mage, Warrior, Clerik and Rogue.Each of these has eight sub-classes, which are called Souls. You can learn all of your basic class' souls.You probably know the skilltree from WoW, right? We've got basically the same in Rift with a little difference. Each of the souls only has one skilltree. You can equip up to three souls at the same time which makes three skilltress you can spent your points in and you can save your skill choices.So for example you're a warrior. You have got a good build for Soloing. Then you're going into an instance and you have to tank. In WoW you now have to respec completely. In Rift you load your tank spec which takes only two clicks and then you're ready to go.

And the other big feature are Rifts and invasions. Telara (the worl where Rift plays in) is being attacked by other spheres. The Rifts connect the different spheres which each other. The Rifts can pop up everywhere at anytime which makes them very dynamic. If nobody deals with them they're getting stronger and then they try to invade the land and capture outposts. It happened to me quite a few times that I had to go back to an outpost to give some quests in and the outpost was overrun. You have to free it first and after that the Quest NPCs respawn and you can claim your reward.

interesting. I still wish someone would make another mmo where you could really mold your character's stats like ultima or AC, but on a world level it seems interesting.

I also hate it when people say stuff like "Hmm, basically they took almost everything good from the current MMOs and put it together into a single game," because current mmos are generally shitty compared to the ones 5+ years ago.

Was a huge invasion earlier today, there was 2 groups of at least 200 players each running around to repel it.Had to go all over the region to close rifts, fight invasion groups and destroy their footholds. Then a huge boss appeared. Epic.
